    There’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Amorphophallus titanum, the plant that smells like death and blooms once a decade.

    If the story sounds a little familiar maybe you’ve watched Dennis The Menace, where the young rapscallion prevents his nemesis Mr. Wilson from watching his rare flower bloom (HERE).

    Proving that you can now livestream just about anything, the New York Botanical Garden are allowing you to watch the ‘corpse flower’ bloom for the first time in a decade.

    Over to Mashable:

    The flower in itself is a sight to see, with leaves that can grow up to 20 feet long.

    But the real attraction is that the plant actually smells like death. Well more specifically, at least, according to floriculturist Tim Pollak, rotting fish, stinky cheese, Chloraseptic throat spray, garlic and mothballs. Basically, it’s New York City encapsulated in a large flower.

    The corpse flower is unpredictable with its bloom, which makes it exciting. If you can’t make it to New York to watch it happen, never fear, you can watch it live on the feed below.

    It actually bloomed late Friday, with this a little timelapse of what a bloom looks like:

    As promised, here’s your live feed. Happy Monday…
